Another day, another pop girl and football boy to talk about. Word on the street is that Madison Beer is dating Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert.
Back in August, the 26-year-old singer and NFL player sparked relationship rumors when they were photographed hanging out shortly after the 6’6″ footballer was spotted at one of Beer’s shoots in Los Angeles. While the pair did not engage in any kind of PDA or confirm their relationship in any meaningful way, their fans have started to run with it.
“I joke that I’m a sapiosexual, because honestly, make me laugh and we’re good,” Beer recently told Cosmopolitan of her “type” in an interview published back in April. “You could literally look so different from anyone I’ve ever been with. And if there’s just that thing, it’s there. I love people’s souls more than anything.”
She also opened up about being a “relationship person,” and “lover girl” noting, “I meet someone, I love them. I’m like, ‘Okay, I’m never letting you go.’ You’ll be with me forever until you hurt me.'”
That being said, the first photos of Beer and Herbert came out just three months after Beer discussed her “intense and fun” relationship with social media influencer Nick Austin in that very same interview. No split has been officially announced, though Beer admitted “neither of us are equipped for whatever the fuck might come” while speaking with Cosmo.
Now, she’s being credited for Herbert’s performance during the Charger’s opening game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Here’s a complete timeline of the rumors, as neither Beer nor Herbert have confirmed their relationship.
September 5, 2025: The Los Angeles Chargers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in their opening game in São Paulo, Brazil. Now, some fans and sports media outlets are crediting Madison Beer. Surely, they won’t turn on her if he starts underperforming… (That was sarcasm, btw.)
August 26, 2025: Page Six publishes photos of the pair in very casual attire, reportedly heading to a friend’s home in Redondo Beach, California. Beer was carrying a bottle of wine in rolled up sweats and a casual white long-sleeve top, while Herbert brought the Rummikub set in a drawstring shorts, sneakers, and a single leg compression sleeve. Wine, games, and comfy clothes? Is it cuffing season already?
August 18, 2025: Herbert is spotted visiting Beer on the set of one of her photo or music video shoots. According to Page Six, she left in his car.
April 28, 2025: Beer discusses her four-year relationship with Nick Austin in a Cosmopolitan interview. “It can be good and bad,” she said of dating the Cancer as a Pisces. “It’s intense and fun, but it’s good. We’ve been together for four years, which is nuts.”
When asked if he’s ready for what’s to come if her next album pops off, here’s what she said:
